Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses tiny needles to stimulate certain points of the body, which then affect other areas. It can be used to treat multiple issues but in animal health we use it to relieve pain, by relieving the tightened, strained or stressed muscles. Depending on the trigger points used, it can cause the body to release endorphins (the bodies natural pain-killers). Treatments vary from a couple of minutes up to 20 minutes depending on the areas targeted and the aim of the specific needle.
